I'm off to do another "psychic fayre" a week tomorrow and the organisers want me to stick to 20 minute slots.

I always have a problem keeping to time - largely cos I tend to get a lot of people needing "deep" readings and I find it very hard to broddle around in the client's pysche and then say "ooops, sorry - time's up"!

I've been using a 7 card spread, but think I need to drop to 5. I'm quite reluctant as the more cards I have the more I can see, but I'm going to have to be realistic: at 5 cards it's still less than 4 minutes per card once they've sat down and drawn the cards.

So - all help gratefully received. Usual topics - general, love, career, family etc. I've got some memorising to do in the coming week!

Just wanted to let you know that I've been able to adapt the 5 card expandable thread I posted previously. It goes like this (for any question)

1. General Atmosphere
2. What you need/want
3. What they (lover, job offer, etc) need/want
4. Obstacles
5. Final Outcome

I used this at a party recently where someone had 3 job offers and it turned into a 15 card spread.

I even used it for a lady who wanted to know about her husband's career choice. I changed card 2 into what she wanted and card 3 into what her husband wanted. That way we still focused on the person who was asking, but included her question rather well.
